Palm Noosa makes easy linen dresses in prints drawn in-house, the kind of sun-washed resort dressing that goes from the beach to a long lunch.
The prints are the point: each is drawn by the team and exclusive to the label, then digitally printed onto linen, linen-cotton, cotton voile or silk. Shapes are relaxed and feminine, from tiered and button-front dresses to wrap skirts and matching sets, some cut oversized and others fitted at the bust. Most pieces are made by hand in India, and the brand treats each one as one of a kind.
Nothing from Palm Noosa is on the site at the moment. We watch their sales — when one lands it shows up in Drops.
Pippa founded Palm Noosa in 2018 in Noosa Heads, Queensland, to capture the Australian mix of beach mornings and town life.
The idea was clothes for salty hair and sun-warmed afternoons: feminine, carefree pieces in prints drawn in-house and natural fibers, released in small drops rather than chasing fast fashion.
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
Fit varies by style, with some pieces cut oversized and others slim, so read the fit line and model size on each page. Sizes run AU 6 to 16; between sizes, go by your waist.
Mostly linen and linen-cotton blends that take a gentle machine wash with similar colors. Expect small natural-fiber differences from one piece to the next.
Ships by express post from Noosa Heads, free over A$400 and A$25 below that. US orders ship duties paid, with duties and taxes added at checkout, so nothing is due on arrival.
